Txuspo Poyo was born in Pampeluna. He studied in The Basque Country University (Bilbao) between 1983 to 1988, where he received his B.F.A.

Txuspo Poyos work is defined by a initial series of collages, followed by a repertory of films and videos carried out with a digital and pixel vision camera. Strip of 16 and 35 mm film, either unexposed or completely sun-drenched, form the conceptual and formal matrix of the television screen in his early works. The videos are developed through a editing process in which the mixing table and the computer became a laboratories for the appropriation and the deconstruction of fictions.
